IN: Hello, Mr. Gilman. Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions

Tell us about how you use the new Mac Pro, and your first impression of him. How has your work with the new machine from Apple?

ABOUT: I was very surprised by how little has turned out such a powerful computer, the new Mac Pro. It feels very solid and high quality, which can not bribe.

First of all, I used the Mac Pro when working with photos of my camera Nikon D800. Each picture taken by this camera weighs 75 MB, and if you export it as TIFF format, the file occupies 230 MB of hard disk space;

I used terrabaytny SSD-hard drive and external drives Thunderbolt-G-TECH. I also work with two G-Tech G-SPPED Q external drives that use the USB 3.0. One of them I need to store the image archive, and the second copy I already processed files.

External Thunderbolt-hard drive in conjunction with the Mac Pro provides the processing speed of 480 megabytes per second - very, very good result when you work with large photos and videos.

IN: Before that you have used the previous generation Mac Pro? What are the advantages of the new Mac Pro, compared to its predecessor?

ABOUT: Before that, I used the 27-inch iMac in the maximum configuration with Fusion-drive and 36 GB RAM.

For me, the main advantage of the new Mac Pro - the opportunity to work with 4K displays, as well as the huge processing power and high-speed data processing. This allows me to work faster than ever.

More than 200 days a year I spend traveling, so I do not have much time to work in the office. Therefore, such a powerful Mac Pro came in handy.

IN: Were you able to appreciate the advantages of Thunderbolt interface of the second generation 2, which supports the new Mac Pro?

ABOUT: I'm glad the emergence of commercially relevant hard drives, but I was quite comfortable to work with the G-Drive Pro, supports Thunderbolt 1.0. IN conjunction with the Mac Pro it gives me the speed of processing of files of 480 megabytes per second, and this is quite enough to go without workflow problems.

I deliberately did not involved in measurements and testing of a new iron fillings, but the sensations, the new Mac Pro - the fastest computer, with whom I have ever worked with.

IN: Tell us about how you use 4K monitor in conjunction with a Mac Pro?

ABOUT: I have used Sharp 4K monitor and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the display of my pictures with Nikon D800.

IN: And how can you speed up your workflow with the latest version of Aperture software? ICloud support has been helpful to you?

ABOUT: The new version of Aperture is configured to work together. I have received a significant increase in speed and was able to handle the huge amount of content in a relatively short time. And yet, I am very happy with the service SmugMug integration, which allows you to create an online gallery of pictures for sale on the internet photos.

IN: How long have you worked with the new Mac Pro and when Apple invited you to participate in the testing of a new computer?

ABOUT: I got a new Mac Pro test about a week ago.

IN: Are there any applications that have been "pain zone" from which you saved the new Mac Pro and Thunderbolt?

ABOUT: In addition to the photos I shoot video and multi-core processors with dual graphics cards incredibly increased my productivity in Final Cut X - I'm incredibly happy to experience it all in his the new project.

IN: It was or have ever been a problem to find good external PCI-video card?

ABOUT: No, on the market there are so many accessories that find the right will not be difficult.

IN: And the last question - what you particularly surprised the new Mac Pro?

ABOUT: I was very surprised that such a power is hidden in a compact body - it's really amazing.

In my opinion, the new Mac Pro - really tasty thing, think? When I read and translated the interview, I was struck by the power Mac Pro. Work in conjunction with a monitor 4K ultra-high resolution and at the same time allows to process the files with a speed of 480 MB per second (!) - is not fiction. I think that professionals will appreciate the new machine from Apple. What do you think?

necessarily watch the videoabout Apple about how the new Mac Pro are produced. That's impressive!
